Put your miles toward a cause on a charity ride like the Arthritis Foundation’s eight-day, 525-mile California Coast Classic. The distance may be daunting, but these events are usually beginner-friendly and well­ supported (think massages and hearty meals). Your biggest challenge may be fund-raising. Educate yourself about the cause so you can convey passion when asking for donations, says the Arthritis Foundation’s Jill Canova.
